This wasn't a far walk from Galleria dell'Accademia. I heard good things about this Gelateria, but I didn't realize they had so many locations. The server said only one sample was allowed, so I remember trying something new and not liking it. They didn't have a list of flavors available, so you have to just look at their tins behind the glass case. This was a bit inconvenient. I got a small cup €3,20 with two flavors: strawberry and yogurt. The yogurt wasn't as tart as I expected. It was very sweet but still had the yogurt flavor. The strawberry was good. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. No bathroom. No seating/tables. No Wifi.

Stopped by while we were waiting in line for the Duomo. There were some unique flavors to choose from and we tried the Lavender and Buontalenti. The lavender has a strong floral taste we weren't a fan of but the Buontalenti was so good.

Great Flavor, Great Location Close to many locations in Florence that people will be visiting, this gelateria is a step above the rest. Without flashing cheap gelato with unnecessary designs, the flavor and texture of the gelato shine. The gelato does not last long in the cup or the cone! Each bite is a reminder as to why gelato outshines ice cream in every way. So why the 4 stars? It is, as per usual, the price. It's closer to a touristy district, so the price is unnecessarily high for gelato. However, should you choose to stay close to tourism central, it's hard to find better than La Strega Nocciola.

Daily dose of outstanding gelato. Theirs is particularly delicious!

My family recently got home from a 12 day Italian vacation. I ate a lot of gelato. We spent a few days in a few places. Each place had their best gelato. La Strega Nocciola was the best gelato I had in Florence. I'm not looking to spark an internet debate, I realize taste is subjective. I also know that their staff was friendly and cared about their gelato. It's a small place that passed the test of maintaining a small amount of well crafted and covered gelato for being quickly turned over to discerning customers. I had the namesake hazelnut and my favorite pistachio. It was outstanding!

Great quality gelato and our favorite of many places we tried. Small space with a few small seats outside.

Stracciatella (cream and chocolate chips)

This gelato is the best around! It is stored in tins so you know it's authentic and home made. The service if good and the pricing is very reasonable for the amount you get. This will be the place I miss the most!

Stopped in for a late night scoop of gelato. So many great options to choose from. The staff are friendly and quickly scoop their way through a crowd.

We picked to place based on reviews by fellow yelpers. It's a small place in a gangway near the Duomo, past a bigger & fancier gelato place. Unless you walk down the gangway, you won't see it. They don't have a big selection, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I agree with other yelpers about the mango gelato, it is the best! I also got the "buontalenti", kinda like vanilla hazelnut, which was also very good. Service was ok, they did expect you to decide quickly & move on. The amount they give you & prices are comparable to other gelato places, pretty standard. They're efficient, but don't expect a friendly service with a smile.

This place was really good and didn't disappoint. They didn't have my favorite (mint), but the mango was so good. We didn't love the pistachio, but mango made up for it. A huge line formed behind us, so we felt the need to rush and pick flavors with only trying a couple. Cute little shop, and I would have walked right by if I didn't head there just for Gelato. It felt very Harry Potter ish.

Berry (bomb) , Limone (good)
Monica M.

Nice to try something artingale. However I asked for/pointed to bergamot and got Limone (good) but clashed w/ the other. Short wait at 20-21:00. Unfriendly worker. Felt intimidated to ask to try flavors. Very small spot.

good italian gelato with a small selection but very good flavors. traditional, not 'tourist' gelato, so may be a bit disappointing to those looking for the giant piles of very colorful gelato. would definitely go back!

Stopped by for some gelato prior to going into the Accademia and split a medium cup with two others. Cash accepted. There's a couple of outdoor seating. The strawberry flavor was super tasty and refreshing. There was an Italian cookie flavor that we tried in addition to stracciatella - I liked those as well. The texture was creamy and the service was quick.

Mango and dark chocolate.

I got very lucky and there was a very short line when I visited (around 5pm on a thursday). They…read moreclose around 6 so that is maybe why there was no one. If the espresso bar side is closed, you can go to the gelato side and they have the pistachio and orignal there as well. The full menu is only available at the espresso bar. I ordered the hazelnut and it was delicious. I still dream of this affogato. Smooth, rich, perfect mix of sweetness and bitterness. I do think this is worth a stop if you are in Florence.

Was so lucky to pass by this place and notice a lot ladies outside photographing and talking about…read moreit. Apparently it's tik tok famous for affogato! I had not had a chance to order an affogato since I arrived in Italy. I was always ordering espresso everywhere. Of course I jet inside to the quick moving line, maybe 10 people... and ordered the pistacio affogato not regular. To my surprise it was a scoop of pistacio gelato with coffee poured in the middle. Topped with a pistacio nut rim. It was amazing and so flavorful. I could have drank 10 more. I hadn't walked Florence since I mostly did day trips so I had just one. I will remember it forever, dream about it and added to my blessed and grateful list! This is a must visit place in Florence. The decor inside is pretty and they have pastries and sandwiches too Ciao Bella!

La Strega Nocciola was one of several gelaterias that I tried while in Firenze. I made it my…read moreintention to try as much gelato as I could in the city so when we had some down time post-lunch we thought that a little sweet would hit the spot. To be transparent, one of the things that drew me to La Strega was the name, I wanted to see what was so witchy about this gelato - and of course the positive reviews helped. The gelateria itself was lovely - soft music playing with intricate decor and a good amount of space. There were a few chairs and stools in case you wanted to sit and enjoy, though they were a little awkwardly placed. There were several flavors of gelato as expected - instead of being on display they were in tubs covered in lids. I heard that's the "proper" way to store gelato as it remains fresher, though the jury is still out for me on that one. Anyway, I got the smallest cup size where I was able to choose two flavors - so I went with the cream and the chestnut. The gelato was really good - creamy with great flavor. Service was great, and overall this was a solid gelateria - La Strega is definitely worth stopping into when in Firenze.
